What:nots...

Happy Friday! Things have started to get busy in the lead up to end of the year. Do you ever feel like it starts earlier and earlier each year....? Our weekends are filling up fast and it's only October - hopefully things are quieter in your neck of the woods. We have a bit of exciting news about the year ahead - more on that in a week or two. In the meantime here's what:nots - have a wonderful weekend!

Weekly what:nots...

And my oh my what a week it was. Let's just say after Tuesday's fiasco I have a whole new respect for plumbers, especially those who make after-hours house calls. I do hope that the weekend has treated you well, and the week ahead is just as kind. After a late summer burst, autumnal rains have arrived in Portland and with it the promise of a new season. 

Love this image found over on Pretty Stuff's tumblr.

A lovely quote from The Armchair Book of Gardens.
